Convinced by the excellent performances of Danieli QSP DUE technology in operation at SGJT, Chinese private entrepreneur Yunnan Yuxi Yukun Iron & Steel Group contracted Danieli for its new quality-strip plant, which will be the new most productive thin-slab casting rolling plant in the world.
Danieli-patented Dysencaster will produce 110/120-mm-thick slabs after soft reduction, and feed the 3+5 stands hot-strip mill, where thermomechanical rolling will be performed.
The caster will consist of two casting strands and will operate in endless and semi-endless modes on strand #1, or coil-to-coil mode operating on strands #1 and #2, reaching the maximum production capacity.
A swivel furnace will connect casting strand #2 with the mill. Original Danieli Q-Heat induction heaters will be installed between roughing and finishing mills.
Controlled by Danieli Automation advanced process control, featuring Q3 intelligence, the plant will produce quality hot-rolled strip in thicknesses from 0.8 to 25.4 mm in any steel grade, except automotive exposed.
Danieli Universal Rolling is a sustainable, green technology that allows low energy consumption and emissions: a step toward net-zero emissions steelmaking.
The plant will be installed in, Yuxi city, Yunan province, China and the startup is scheduled for the second half of 2023.
